Gloria Moraga - Political Woman

Are you a mother? How was your Mother's Day 2020? There were many, many people at the grocery store buying roses yesterday, including me. I've loved being a mom; even though, at times, I felt like I was not a great mother. I'm hard on myself. But, we all make mistakes. This podcast is for all mothers. I just have this to say to you, please don't be too hard on yourself. Don't be like me. It's a difficult job. At times it seems impossible. But we do it. We love them, and as difficult as it is, it is the most rewarding job in the world. My love to all of you!

In addition to my One-On-On Interviews and communication Tips, I have been sharing my thoughts on my podcast for some time now. So I decided I would give these episodes a title. I'm calling them "Just a Few Words." This episode of One-On-One is "Just a Few Words about my Sister." It also happens to be her birthday. Happy Birthday, Sis. Love you and Miss you! See you when the "Damn Pandemic" is over. The picture on this episode of Just a Few Words about my Sister is my Sis, Liz Moraga Garcia with one of her beloved grandchildren, Gillian! Love them both.

I’m hearing the question, “Do you like me?” frequently these days. The question comes from my 3-year-old granddaughter after she has done something, she knows she shouldn’t. An example, stuffing toilet paper in our water cups. When we reach for the cup to take a sip of water she says, “You’ve been pranked.” Then she asks the “do you like me” question.

You like to think that you outgrow the desire to be liked. But you don’t. Think about our social media posts. We still do wants those “likes”.

I read a great article called, “Why Your Brain Hates Other People… And how to make it think differently.”  BY ROBERT SAPOLSKY. It explains a lot about our likes and dislikes…here’s the link. http://nautil.us/issue/49/the-absurd/why-your-brain-hates-other-people

Are you watching more TV as we try to stay home and safe from COVID19? I certainly am spending even more time streaming my favorite films. What better time to chat with Dr. Roberto Pomo, film and theater professor. I worked with Professor Pomo at Sacramento State and enjoyed watching him teach and direct students on the stage. Pomo is a Renaissance Man, a writer, a scholar, and an all-around great guy.

If you want to know what movies you should be watching with a guarantee that you will enjoy every minute of them; then this is your podcast. 

Here are a couple: “Casablanca,” “Rebecca,” The Letter,” “Maltese Falcon,” “The Public Enemy,” “Petrified Forest. “Marked Woman,” “San Quentin,” “They Drive by Night, “High Sierra," “Suspicion,” “Shadow of a Doubt.”

Here is a new word I read today for the first time, “COVIDIOT.” The Urban Dictionary defines a covidiot as “Someone who ignores the warnings regarding public health or safety. A person who hoards goods, denying them from their neighbors.”  That not-so-nice word is just one of many we are using every day during this COVID19 Pandemic.  Today we got dire warnings from the President and our top infectious disease doctor. My advice is to remember what Gandalf said to Frodo.

An executive order from the governor has ordered 40 million Californians to Stay-At-Home. Governor Gavin Newsom issued the decision on Thursday, March 19, 2020. Now, many are wondering what exactly does "Stay-at-Home" order mean? Are we prisoners in our homes? If we go out to grab a burger will we be in "trouble?" I spoke with retired police chief Dan Davis and his down-to-earth answers made me feel so much better. I hope my One-On-One interview with Dan helps you. 

There is a saying that I love from an old Bette Midler movie. It’s about a set of twins who were switched at birth. One set was the Bette Midler character, the other set was Lilly Tomlin. The Movie was called Big Business. At one point the level-headed, business-oriented Thomlin character says, “Lord, my load is heavy.” I use that phrase often. I like it. I’m using it now. Because the podcast and video I produced about the COVID19 virus included incorrect information. It was wrong. Basically, all the facts I quoted from Stanford Hospital did not come from Stanford Hospital. I’m here to correct that information. My load may be heavy, but I’m still a reporter at heart and I was to set the record straight.

Why would somebody create a factually incorrect post? Then share it. I know, as a former reporter to always get two sources of information. In my defense, I did go to the Stanford Hospital website and look for the source of the incorrect info. I could not find the source. That was my red flag. I should not have posted the info. I have pulled the video and the podcast, I apologize for passing along a "Scam" In the future, I will ALWAYS USE TWO SOURCES!
